View 3 RepliesI'd like my Flash site to be bi-lingual. What I have currently is a Flash movie with an empty Movie Clip which then allows users to go from movie to movie. The movies are all small movieClips that are loaded into the empty movieclip on demand. There is some video and text in each of the 30 movieClips.
Here is sample of code that i'm using to call up next MovieClip.
[Code]...
My solution for the bilingual version is to create a separate frame with the French version + video and then when user presses the French button they are directed to that frame. This way I could easily create the French text within the one movie. however i don't know the Actionscript code to call up a movieClip to play from frame 10, and not frame 1.
When you click a button I want my flash to go to the frame label where the movie clip is located, and then play a certain frame of that movie clip.
View 5 RepliesI want my MovieClip to play from frame 5 to frame 30 and then stop. How can I do this?
View 5 RepliesThis may be a really simple question but I'm trying to go to a frame on the timeline which has a movieClip object in it and then goto a specific frame in that movieClip and I can't figure out how to code it. I thought something like:
gotoAndPlay("movieClipframe");
this.theMovieClip.gotoAndPlay("theFrame");
but I get a null reference error.Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or if I'm?
I was asking button to go to a movie clip on the main timeline that had a stop frame at the beggining. Flash won't do this because it doesn't recognise anything past a stop frame and used _parent instead of _root
code on the button:
on (release) {
_global.destination_detail = "first"
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop("content_mc");
}
And in the stop frame that's at the beginning of the movieclip that contans my content:
content_mc.gotoAndStop(_global.destination_detail) ;
stop();
So I've created a variable: destination_detail
I can't see how this isn't working:[code]The button with this funtion is nested within a movieclip on the main timeline.'content_mc' is the instance name of a movie clip on the main timeline that contains frame label "1". I want to play frame label one by clicking on this button.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to play a simple movie clip when the playhead gets to a frame label called "home". The moveclip is called "playRollClick". I am trying to write this in as3.
The code below is what I've come up with so far, but it doesn't seem to work.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playRollClick);
function playRollClick(event:Event) {
rollClick_mc.play();

i have a swf with a movie clip in it (38 static image frames long)on loading of the swf i would like to play the movieclip, then pause it on the last frame for 1 second then play the frames in reverse then pause it on the first frame for 1 seond and then play the frames in correct order ETC ETC ETC
View 1 RepliesI have 10 buttons on my homepage and I want to play the same movieclip when you click on a button and after that move to a specific frame for each different button.
Someone know an easy to make this without having to create 10 differents movieclips just to change the action at the end of the movieclip?
This time I'm experimenting with visibility. All the tutorials online vary a lot. I'm trying to find something noob proof. I have actionscript 2 and 3. I'm not sure which one to use..I'm just trying to learn how to make a frame become visible and Play when I click on a movieclip.
View 5 RepliesThe problem I have is that I have created a Movie clip of an animated logo. The timeline within the movieclip contains 163 frames.
I have placed the movie clip on the main timeline at frame 1. What I would like to happen is the movie clip to the play all the way through and then move to the next frame (frame 2) of the main timeline to continue the animation. the next frame has a frame label, named 'main'. I have split the timeline up into sections as I am created a webpage.
There must be a pretty straight forward Actionscript code to do this, I have come across some things but they dont seem to make much sense to me. I am pretty good at the drawing and animation side of things in flash but I complete newbie when it comes to the Actionscript code.
I now how to use frame labels to play some part of MovieClip:
mc.gotoAndPlay("label1");
but is it possible to acces to frames INSIDE labels? i mean, i need gotoAndStop(25) (25 is last frame of that label)i only know this dont work:
Code:
mc.("label1").gotoAndStop(25);
I have a movie clip that loads variables from an XML file. One of those variables is a number between 1 and 100. I have an movie clip file of a "speedometer" that has a needle. The needle is set with a motion tween between frame #1 and frame #100. The number in the XML file is, currently, set to "gotoAndStop" to the corresponding frame # in the speedometer movie clip. What I want to do is for the speedometer to "play" and THEN stop at the frame # that corresponds to what the XML is feeding it. All of this happens "on load". There is no "button" that activates it.
Here's the code I have for the parsing the XML into the speedometer. This is working. I just want it to "play" then "stop".
Code:
var SideGRAPH_01_01:XMLList=contentINPUT_01.StudentRptItemDetailDefinitions.StudentRptItemDetailDefinition.(@StudentRptItemDetailID=="5").(@Seq=="1").attribute("Value");
for each (var GRAPHElement_01_01:XML in SideGRAPH_01_01) {
MovieClip(root).page_01.dashboard.speedometer.gotoAndStop(GRAPHElement_01_01);
}
I've got a button that tells a movie clip to play its animation (goto and play frame 2), but I only want it to play that frame if the current frame is frame 1 - meaning that I don't want people to be able to keep clicking the button while the clip is playing and have the clip restart.
I'm guessing it would be something like:
If ( current frame is frame 1 ) { goto and play frame 2 }
But I can't seem to get it to work.
i'm looking for a code for a keycombmanager in AS3, if anyone have played the advergame from cokezero, you have to press a certain keycombination the movieclip kind of jumps to and play another frame, that's the kind of kombination i'm looking for. [URL]
View 1 RepliesWhat is the actionscript if i want to go to a frame in a movie clip from another movieclip? And also for future reference, how do you go to a frame from a movieclip/button to a frame in the main scene? Is it something to do with root?

I have a button (bttn1) which when clicked plays a movieclip (bounce), but I would like it to play from frame 1 then stop on a desired frame(say frame 10), so when a second button is clicked (bttn2) it plays from frame 10. Hopefully i've explained it ok...
I have a movie clip on the main timeline. This movieclip has buttons that I want to play different frames in scene 1.
At the moment, this is the code I'm using in scene 1.

I'm getting the error below but have no idea what I should be doing.

What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
View 17 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
What im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)

View 7 RepliesI am currently in the middle of making a "sniping" flash game. In the first level there are a series of moving targets which are also movie clips. Inside the movie clip there is a 7 frame animation of the target exploding. Inside that is a tween of the target moving up and down. And inside that there is a plain old button.
What I want to happen is when you click on the moving target it explodes and brings you to a new frame of the main timeline. (ex. Main Timeline frame #27) But I'm pretty sure it thinks I was to play the seven frame animation of it exploding and then go to frame 27 inside the movie clip, rather then frame 27 on the main timeline.
Here's what my AS looks like on the target (ActionScript 2.0 is what I'm using.)
on (press) {
play();
}
on (release){
gotoAndStop(27)}
So how do I make it explode and then take me to frame 27 on the main timeline?
I have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
i have a movieclip on stage. it has 3 frames but is stopped with "stop():" so it only shows the first frame on mousedown i want it to play frame 2 for a duration of 1 frame then frame 3.
View 3 RepliesI hope I can ask this correctly. I'll paraphrase.
press_mc.onRelease = function(){
mover2_mc.play()};
This is a snippet of some code I'm working on. Currently I have a mc that you press that plays another mc. That mc that reacts has 5 frames, each frame with stop(); on each frame. I do a normal play code because it lets me play through and cycle back to frame 1 after frame 5 (so if I click the mc it eventually cycles back to the first frame and starts the process over again). If I do a nextframe it stops at frame 5, so that's why I use play.
press_mc click on it and it tells mover2_mc to advance a frame and recycles back to frame one to redo the process.Can I tell press_mc to play and skip a frame or to have it play a list of frames that I tell? I can't do a _currentframe +2 because it'll halt at frame 5.
how to code this on a button
onrelease
gotoandplay(10); // i need delay here before activating the next code below//
gotoandplay(80);
the trick is.. i want the button to play frame 10 to 40 then after playing from frame 10-40 the movie stops and then play frame 80 to 100
